Family Rozès 成為著名的 Armagnac(雅文邑) 製造商的旅程,始於13世紀建造的 Château de Léberon,當時「百年戰爭」正席捲整個 Gascony(加斯科涅)地區。
Armagnac Château de Léberon 現時已由 Family Rozès 的第四代傳人接手,他們非常重視傳統人手工藝,從葡萄園的剪枝、捲枝、去芽等種植步驟,到蒸餾、陳年,甚至最後的裝瓶和封蠟工序,全部都由Rozes家族成員在酒莊內親自完成。甚至連橡木桶都是用自家莊園的橡木製作,足見他們對品質的認真與執著。
他們的葡萄園地理位置也非常優越,朝南種植,能吸收到最充足、最理想的陽光。而且葡萄樹的平均樹齡在40年以上,有的超過60年,所出產的葡萄果實豐富飽滿、香氣濃郁。
傳承至第四代, Family Rozès至今仍堅守其純粹傳統,不添加水、糖、色素和任何添加劑,只提供特定年份的單桶原酒Armagnac,仍致力於保留這個地方的傳統及其歷史的記憶。

The journey of Family Rozès becoming a renowned Armagnac producer began at Château de Léberon, built in the 13th century when the Hundred Years' War was sweeping across the Gascony region.
Armagnac Château de Léberon is now managed by the fourth generation of the Rozès family. They highly value traditional craftsmanship —everything from vine pruning, tying, and bud removal, to distillation, aging, and even bottling and wax sealing, is personally handled by members of the Rozès family at the estate.
Even the oak barrels are made from oak trees grown on their own estate, demonstrating their dedication and commitment to quality.
The location of their vineyard is also excellent, with south-facing vines that receive the most ideal and abundant sunlight. The average age of the vines is over 40 years, with some over 60 years old, resulting in grapes that are rich, plump, and aromatic.
Now in the fourth generation, Family Rozès still adheres to their pure traditions; they do not add water, sugar, coloring, or any additives. Only single-cask, vintage Armagnac is offered, with a commitment to preserving the traditions and historical legacy of this region.
